Friends, you are 9 Ingredients away from the perfect Vegan Chocolate Mousse Tart!

We’ve all had those moments where we want a delectable treat that’s both easy to make and bound to impress our guests. If you’re searching for that perfect dessert, look no further than this double chocolate mousse tart. Now, before you raise an eyebrow at the words ‘9-ingredients’, let me assure you this dessert is as straightforward as they come. It’s a no-fuss, no-frills treat that will leave your taste buds happy as heck!

The Star ingredient is none other than Avocado! Yep, you read that right. This green superfood is not just for guacamole or smoothies. When used in desserts, avocados offer a creamy texture and health benefits, including heart-healthy fats and fiber. But, fear not! The taste is undetectably masked by the deep flavors of chocolate and perfectly paired ingredients.

What you’ll need to make this Vegan Chocolate Mousse Tart

Grain-Free Chocolate Crust

  • extra fine almond flour
  • unsweetened raw cacao powder
  • coconut butter or coconut oil
  • medjool dates
  • maple syrup

Chocolate Mousse Filling

  • sugar-free vegan dark chocolate chips
  • coconut oil or coconut butter
  • ripe avocados
  • raw unsweetened cacao powder
  • plain unsweetened plant milk
  • vanilla
  • maple syrup
  • berries of choice (for topping)

The crust comes together with a blend of almond flour and cacao powder, sweetened just right with medjool dates and a touch of maple syrup. The mousse filling is where the magic happens. With ripe avocados as the base, combined with dark chocolate, this filling is nothing short of decadent. And creating this tart is almost therapeutic. From pressing the crust into the pan, watching the mousse blend into a silky consistency, to adorning it with fresh berries. All the steps really offer their own sensory moment!

I knew this dessert was a winner when My Ultimate Taste Tester Clinton, after the first bite, continued to exclaim “WOW!”

And if you’ve ever had doubts about vegan desserts (or if you’ve got a skeptical Uncle questioning your food choices), this tart is your answer. It’s a testament to the fact that plant-based desserts can be rich, indulgent, and absolutely scrumptious.

Explore the wonders of plant-based desserts with this easy-to-make yet luxurious Vegan Chocolate Mousse Tart. Whether you’re a seasoned vegan, curious about plant-based foods, or just a lover of all things chocolate, this tart promises to please and begs to be added to your recipe collection.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings: 8
Course: Dessert

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 10” tart pan
  • rubber spatula
  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

Grain-Free Chocolate Crust Ingredients
  • 2 cups extra fine almond flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened raw cacao powder
  • ¼ cup coconut butter or coconut oil, softened
  • ¼ cup medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1-3 tbsp water, if needed
Chocolate Mousse Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup sugar-free vegan dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or coconut butter, softened
  • 5 ripe avocados, peeled
  • 1 cup raw unsweetened cacao powder
  • ⅓ cup plain unsweetened plant milk
  • 2 tbsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅔ cup maple syrup
  • berries of choice, for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Add all ingredients for crust, except water, to a food processor. Blitz until well combined and crumbly. Add 1 tbsp water at a time and blitz until a dough is formed. Transfer to a 10” tart pan and use clean hands or a rubber spatula to press into an even layer. Prick with a fork many times and bake for 12 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
  2. Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil or butter in a microwave safe dish. Microwave at 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring each time until melted. Give your food processor a quick rinse. Add in all the ingredients for the mousse, including the melted chocolate mixture, and mix on high until fluffy, smooth, thick and creamy. Stop to scrape the sides down as needed, and adjust to your desired sweetness level by adding more maple syrup if desired.
  3. Pour the mousse into the prepared crust and use a rubber spatula to smooth out. Top with berries. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours before enjoying, or overnight.

    This tart is absolutely delicious and was surprisingly easy to make. All of the ingredients pair together perfectly to create a crust and mousse that will satisfy all of your chocolate cravings. The berries on top were a stunning addition and added a level of brightness that helped balance the dark chocolate flavor. I made this for a friends birthday party and everyone was obsessed and couldn’t believe that it was vegan and grain free!
